Haha, um, no. They're probably in high-population, low-per-capita countries such as China, Indonesia, or India, to guess a few. And it's not a job you want. You must sit in a chair and chop yews for 14+ hours straight, and you will probably receive a daily pay of either a bowl of rice or 25 cents. No chatting or getting off task - do either, and you're back on the street. Sound fun still?

Monkfish are pretty fast, and have good healing/trading value. Fly fishing is the fastest exp, but you burn up tons of feathers and get almost no profit.

It's good for exp, especially enchanting... you can reap huge profits if you use a lot of runes and earn enough points for high-level gear, too.

Ring of Wealth boosts odds of getting *any* non-100% drop according to Jagex. The best herb droppers are Chaos druids (Taverley or Edgeville), but they're always crowded. I use Banshees, which drop fewer than druids but way more than outlaws.

Either Falconry or Gray chins, in my opinion. Falconry is slightly faster, but chins mean you can look forward to good profits or range exp when you're done.

That works. My preferred method is to use Ctrl+A to "Select All", and then move the image up and left until I get the upper-left corner where I want. Then use the canvas grabber at the bottom right to trim to the other corner.

"Gold farming" is an increasingly common problem in RS. Basically, workshops are set up (usually in countries where labor is low cost, such as in southeast Asia) and a group of people are trained to raise skills and collect materials in the game. They finish Tutorial Island, grab a hatchet, and immediately begin their careers cutting valuable trees or mining rocks. The users are not allowed to chat or respond, and will spend all their time collecting items. Then, the items are given to "trading" accounts which sell the resources for GP. The GP is then sold illegally on websites for real money. This system is popular because human users are more reliable and intelligent than macros. It also means that there is a large number of unfortunate individuals forced to play a game for long hours with unfair pay. In short: don't buy RS items for real world money.

The "Rift" is actually the Dungeon of Tolna. During the Soul's Bane quest you can hit 200+ in the first room using the "Anger" weapons, but you get no combat exp for it. After the quest, you can fight angry monsters there, but they're nothing more than experiments without drops.

World 139, there are always a bunch of 100+ groups there.

I too use the Fire runes/Dueling Ring method. Just obtain a stock of essence (I collect it while slaying Banshees, it amasses quickly), get a bunch of Rings (one ring for every 4 loads of runes), and teleport back and forth between CWars and Duel Arena.

Crystal Bow has the same post-quest traits as the dragon weaponry, you must do the respective quest to even be allowed to weild it. If you want to buy one or PK someone for it, by all means go for it... but you can't weild it until you finish the quest.

If you have everything at hand, an hour. I did it right when it came out (when the NPCs still shouted "Damn spies!") and took 2 hours to complete w/o preparation.

I do it immediately, because it's possible you'll get another clue while slaying monsters after finishing your first one. I've gotten 3 level 3 clues off of a task of 100 hellhounds...

You'll need to join a clan - no one will ever post a good world in public, because then it will soon be overrun with level 40's hoping to reap rewards (and thus slowing down the higher-levels). Besides, staying in a group of similarly-leveled players greatly increases your odds of a quick victory (a team of 5 90's will finish faster than a team of 2 100's and 3 90's).

Wrong. There's a system to this. You can access either rune store (elemental or "other") at any time. However, the stock is limited, and prices are similar to any other rune store. The sudokus, on the other hand, unlock new opportunities: 1. You get a fresh (but random) stock of runes every time you open a chest with a sudoku 2. You have the option to either A) look at the runes and buy them for quite reduced prices, or B) buy them without looking and receive random amounts of each rune - albeit for much, much cheaper than buying them individually. You will need to do a new puzzle every time you want the discount or to do a buy-all. The buy-all is an excellent choice if you just want a stock of elemental runes - the small sudoku takes less than ten seconds and you can buy all the runes at 3g each - but buying all for higher runes is a potshot as you'll probably end up with unwanted runes (minds, soul, etc). Also keep in mind that runes vary in amount from 20-100 when you open a chest, so it will probably take a while to get a large stock of runes (especially if you're attempting the large sudoku every time).

Man, I remember playing F2P a long time before all the noobs and autoers arrived (I started playing RS a short time after RS2 was released). When I went on hiatus for almost two years, I decided to reignite my RS career and do so as a member to boot. I logged into members and it seemed almost the same as F2P... until I went back to Lumbridge F2P to check it out. Everyone was either: + PMing me claiming to be a mod and demanding my password + PMing me demanding phree stoof + asking around for a girlfriend + asking others for free stuff + standing around absentmindedly in default clothing because apparently some smart cookie dropped a trail of yews to the hobgoblins Now the only time I return there is when I want to earn some imaginary whistle points (Newgrounds' member regulation and reporting system uses "whistles" to denote helpfulness). I think it'd be easy for someone to earn a Pmod-ship by sacrificing hours of game time to report the hundreds of scammers and impostors in F2P Lumbridge, one at a time... :roll:

Hm... I've got a couple. My first day in RS, I got lured and PK'd in the wildy (the guy had to drag me right up to the fence to be able to attack). When I respawned, I cursed the air for a minute... then a guy approached me and said, "you need this," and gave me full steel armor and a steel b-axe. I used the armor for months until I bought a rune/addy set for Dragon Slayer. More recently, I had a trading friend contact me in frustration about a Treasure Trail sliding puzzle that was bugging him. After struggling to implement my strategic advice, he sent a screenshot to me over MSN of his reset puzzle. I edited it in Paint, a few moves at a time, and sent it back. After thirty minutes, we solved it. To thank me, he gave a black mystic top, hat, and legs. Definitely one of the nicer rewards I've ever gotten!

Laws are indeed used more often on a person-to-person basis, but since fletching the alchers have burned through millions of nats. Tough call...

Magic, no question. It's the most expensive combat skill to train, and at level 99 you have access to abilities that few others in the game can use.

My bad, was thinking about ogre drops when I wrote that. World 2 is probably best - high volume means fast respawn time, but almost never anyone actually training down there.

My numbers show it will take about 300k-500k cannonballs. Better get to work on the iron and coal... As for best place, try the Dagganoths under the lighthouse. On an empty-but-populated world (w2 is best), you can hide behind a stalagmite and watch the massacre. You'll get plenty of big bones (although not much else) and the sheer number times the high HP means big exp. Make sure to reload and/or dismantle the cannon every once in awhile to avoid deterioration.

Just to be safe, contact the bank. The only time this happened to me was when the card I used was locked down by my bank because someone else had obtained the credit card number.

You can obtain higher pouches, but can't use them (which defeats the purpose, as I assume you want a Large pouch for that quest).

Sorry, but you can't enter or even teleport into Morytania without Priest in Peril. The exp from the quest guarantees you to level up in Prayer. Sorry, but I've yet to see an Ancient Mage with level 1 prayer.

Um, there's no question. Lletya. There's a small field with 12+ plants, not even one mini-map away from the bank. It's not crowded since so few people have finished Roving Elves/Mourning's End p1. Just bank a ton of flax, then spin it in Lumbridge if you want to.
